Nexus 6P Battery Issues On Nougat Irk Some Users

It appears that some people are facing battery issues on the Nexus 6P after updating their handset to Android 7.0 Nougat. Many have taken to online forums to complain about these battery issues which they weren’t facing prior to the Nougat update. It’s a rather odd issue and while it doesn’t seem to affect all users, it has been experienced by enough people to warrant an explanation from Google.

One Nexus 6P user has even posted a video on YouTube which shows that the handset powers down completely and doesn’t turn back on until the charger is plugged. This happens while there’s ample charge in the battery and yet the phone powers down after only a few pictures have been taken.

You’d expect the phone to behave this way if it was running out of charge, but it’s odd to see it do this when there’s ample charge. Some users say that the Nexus 6P rapidly depletes its charge after the battery level dips below 25 percent.

Google hasn’t acknowledged the issue as yet to it’s unclear what might be causing it. Since there hasn’t been an official comment on the matter from the company it’s unclear how long it would take for a fix to arrive.
